In 2005 John Gunther Dean, a high-ranking and long-retired former American ambassador broke his seventeen years of silence and revealed that he strongly believed that Mossad had been responsible for the 1988 death of Pakistani President Zia ul-Haq and nearly his entire government in a highly-suspicious plane crash that also cost the lives of our ambassador to that country and an accompanying American general. Dean was then serving as our ambassador to neighboring India, and according to him the Israelis had become extremely alarmed by Zia’s nuclear weapons development effort, fearful that he might share the product with other Muslim countries. Well-connected journalists reported that the Israelis had even unsuccessfully sought to enlist India in a joint military attack to destroy Pakistan’s facilities.
After the annihilation of Zia’s government, Dean had traveled back to Washington to provide his crucial information to top State Department officials, but instead he was immediately purged and incarcerated, then forcibly retired from his four decades of diplomatic service. The long article setting forth all these important facts was written by the former New York Times bureau chief for South Asia and appeared in a prestigious journal, but it was ignored and boycotted by the entire North American media, though it received a great deal of attention elsewhere in the world.
One reason for Dean’s suspicions was that during his earlier posting in Lebanon, the Israelis had sought his personal support in their local projects, drawing upon his sympathy as an American Jew. But when he rejected those overtures and declared that his primary loyalty was to America, an attempt was made to assassinate him, with the munitions being eventually traced back to Israel. Bergman’s book inadvertently confirmed these facts by revealing that the local militant faction officially claiming credit for the attack was actually an Israeli-created front group used for Mossad terrorist attacks in Lebanon.

Ostrovsky’s most dramatic account focused upon the bitter 1991 political struggle between President George H.W. Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir over growing West Bank settlements, with Bush determined that they be restricted, thereby allowing the establishment of an independent Palestinian state as part of a reasonable Middle East peace agreement. According to the Mossad defector, hard-line elements of his own organization organized a plan to assassinate Bush, believing that Vice President Dan Quayle, heavily influenced by arch-Neocon Bill Kristol who served as his chief of staff, would be far more supportive of Israeli policy. Although I personally confirmed that important American national security officials took those reports of an Israeli assassination plot very seriously at the time, I had still been quite skeptical of Ostrovsky’s claims, but became much less so after reading Bergman’s massively documented volume, which strongly hinted that the 1995 assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin had probably involved elements of his own security services.
Two decades later, President Barack Obama became involved in a test of wills with Benjamin Netanyahu over similar matters, and some agitated Jewish leaders in America publicly called for Obama’s assassination. Although I never took those statements seriously at the time, in a recent podcast discussion Max Blumenthal claimed that Obama and top administration officials were actually very fearful that Mossad would assassinate our president, and since Blumenthal’s father Sidney was then a top Democratic Party political operative, someone quite close to Obama’s Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, it’s certainly possible that such statements were based upon solid information.
